Laura has taught my son English and English literature for several months. She is very knowledgeable and accommodating. The lessons helped him improve the areas he was weak in. His English grades improved.

Charlotte was an amazing tutor anf we would highly recommend her for GCSE Science and English tutoring. She was patience and calm with my daughter. She gave great exams tips and answer structures. And lots of practice papers. My daughter never complained about lessons with her as she felt relaxed with her and would giggle about her family stories. She is also super flexible. It clearly paid off as the results were all 9s in Science and high 8s in English (which Charlotte made her fall back in love with). Thank you Charlotte - you were brilliant!

Myles is an amazing tutor, he's been tutoring my son since he was in year 10 all the way up to his GCSE exams and has pushed my son to achieve a 7 in english language and an 8 in english literature when my son was finding in difficult to ever achieve any english grade above a 6! His lessons were always fun and interactive yet very beneficial and my son always had something positive to say about him. Would definitely recommend him as a tutor!

Becca has just started to tutor my son English. In just a couple of lessons he has learnt so much. Becca's style of teaching is engaging and she has a lot of knowledge and understanding of the subject. Would definitely recommend.

My son was struggling with English due to it's subjective nature and him being very logical in his approach to learning. He also had challenges with his school English teacher. He started with Lucy and something clicked for him. She was supportive and encouraging and explained things clearly. We've just got his GCSE results and he's done far better than we could have anticipated a year ago, he was sitting on a 3 and a 4 for Language and Literature respectively and his actual results were a 6 and a 7. We are very grateful for Lucy and can't recommend her enough.

Donna has been an outstanding tutor for my daughter. She guided her through A-level English Literature and English Language with so much patience and encouragement. Thanks to Donna’s support, my daughter has achieved her goal and is heading off to university this fall to study her first-choice course. We are so grateful for all of Donna’s help.

Muneebah is an absolutely amazing tutor — she’s kind, she’s respectful and she’s incredible at explaining the difficulties of the English subjects. Before I started getting tutored by her, I was failing both Language and Literature, with a grade 2 and a grade 3. But — in only six weeks — with her help and encouragement, I passed both English subjects with flying colours in the form of a grade 6 and a grade 7. Without Muneebah’s kind and thoughtful method of teaching I might have not passed 2 whole GCSEs, and for that I believe she is one of the best and most effective tutors out there. I definitely recommend seeing her if you have difficulty analysing and writing texts, or if you want to improve your grades by as much as possible!

We contacted Holly after our son got a 1 in English in his mocks so we had less than a year to get him up to a pass. We had done some research and found that because he had a “maths” brain he needed to learn in a different way. It wasn’t easy, she was very patient and encouraging but he finished with a 5 in Lit and a 3 in lang. we are thrilled, thank you Holly.
